BURGESS PETER RABBIT TRACKS HIS NEIGHBORS T WAS a perfectly glorious night. I Meadows Mistress Moon flooded the Green and the Green Forest with silvery light, and the white snow which covered everything helped to make still more light. In fact It was almost ns light as day, It seemed to Peter Rab bit. In spite of all little Mrs. Peter could say he had started for the Green Forest just as soon ns jolly, round, red Mr. Run had gone to bed behind the Purple Hills. •‘It's just like visiting a new world,” thought Peter as he reached the edge of the Green Forest. “I do wish that Fuzzy wasn't so timid.” By Fuzzy he meant little Mrs. Peter, who you know, It Was Whitefoot, the Woodmouse. was once Miss Fuzzytail. “She thinks that Just because my coat is brown and everything else is «white it is a great deal more dangerous here than when there Isn't any snow. She doesn’t know what wonderful hiding places there are everywhere now. The snow has bent down all those little hem lock trees and the lowest branches on the big hemlock trees so that un der them are the most wonderful caves. Why, I can Jump out of sight almost anywhere here. Hello! I wonder who made those funny tracks. I believe I'll follow them and find out.” The tracks were just the tiniest of little dots with a tiny little line be tween the two rows. That line puz zled Peter. You know he Is not used to tracking his neighbors. Of course the double row of dots were the prints of tiny feet, but what made the line? Peter followed ns fast as he could, which wasn't so very fast, be cause the tracks wound about so much. Presently they led to an old log cov ered with snow. In one side of It was a little hole, and right there the tracks ended. •'Hello I” called Peter. “Hello yourself and see how you like it I” replied a squeaky little voice. Peter chuckled. He knew that voice. “Why don't you come out and be po lite when you have callers?” he said. “Did you say callers? Who is with you, Peter Rabbit?” asked a squeaky voice. “Well, a «tiler. If you like that bet ter. There Is uo one with me,” replied Peter. Right nway a pretty little head with the loveliest soft eyes appeared nt the hole. It was Whitefoot, the Wood- niouse. “Excuse me, Peter, If I seemed to be a little bit Impolite,” said he. "I have to be very carefid these days. I can’t afford to take any chances when there are so many hungry peo ple about. How did you find me?" “Easy enough,” replied Peter. “1 just followed your tracks, though I didn’t know whose they were.” Whitefoot sighed. "That is the trou ble with snow—It Is n regular telltale," said he. “One cannot move while it is soft without leaving tracks. It tells all one's secrets. Better watch out, Peter, that some of your enemies don’t catch you by means of your tracks; they are very easy to follow." “I'm not worrying,” declared Peter. “If they can see my tracks I can see theirs, so It Is an even thing. It Is great fun to follow tracks. By the way, Whitefoot, how do you make that funny little line between your foot prints?" “With my tail, of course. How stu pid of you not to know,” replied White- foot “A long tall Is rather a nuisance sometimes," he added. Peter chuckled. “Mine doesn’t both er me,” said he. I’m very glad to have found out about your tracks. Next time I will know them. Now I am go ing to see who else I can follow. If isn’t often I have such a chance, and it is great fun. I expect I shall learn a whole lot a1>out my neighbors.” “Watch out that they don’t learn some thingsimhout you that you would rather keep secret," warned Whitefoot. But Peter Just laughed and went on his way. (Æ) by J. O. L lo y d .)— W N U Service If thus you think, no other man Is much inclined to think you can.

Yes, men will fall, and fall again, Because they drag a ball and chain Of foolish pleasure, doubt or fear. But, if you keep your vision clear, Your purpose true, your morals clean.
